[The device falls down and the video captures the static image of two girls appearing by the carousel, there's a flash of red and blue.]

Huh  -  Suzu? Where did she go?

Ah...? Oh, she's gone. I don't see her anywhere.

[When the static clears, the one with red hair as unsheathed her sword and looked around. Her clothes are slightly stained by

[Youko looks over her shoulder, checking out if it was safe or if there was one of those dangerous curses days. She remembers them, slowly the buried memories resurfaces in her mind.

It looks like a normal day, she thinks as she sheathes her sword and turns to Keiki.]

So...

[How anticlimactic. Brought here just when it was the calm before the storm, but the optimistic feeling still lingered inside. The odds were on their side for once.]

We should get going, huh?

[jewelofhou]

[Meanwhile Shoukei is looking around with new found awe. This city... So familiar yet so alien all at once.

She turns when Youko speaks and nods.]

Yes... Do you remember where we lived? I don't think I do.

[reginagloriae]

[Youko looks at the carousel and grimaces. It always seems so creepy to her.]

Let me think.

[She checks the buildings and recognizes some of the landmarks. It was the third building... She looks at her right.]

It's that way.

[jewelofhou]

[Shoukei's trying hard to ignore the carousel, really. It creeps her out too.]

Right. Lead the way.

Huh? Keiki?

[Looks at the device.]

[reginagloriae]

[Turns to address her companion.]

Ah, Shoukei. I think it's recording us?

[withmybeararms]

So you're back.

[reginagloriae]

...

You're Kantai... That's right, you were here too.

[reginagloriae]

With good news from Takuhou.

[withmybeararms]

[A moment of silence.] Oh, is that so?

[Voice]

[notrlyjesus]

Don't know who that other girl's voice is. But I do know one of you definitely sounds like Youko.

[Video]

[reginagloriae]

Huh.

[Voice]

[notrlyjesus]

Hey, Youko. Long time no see.

You forget me while I was gone?

Heh.... I never did learn how to do the video thing. You gotta teach me that one.

[Let her think where she heard that voice before. All is a little fuzzy. After a few minutes.]

Setsuna?

[voice]

[revengeisalie]

There you are! I was wondering... but the City seems to have a habit of drawing you two back!

[voice]

[reginagloriae]

Ah - Rin!

Yeah, it does. It's like our fates are entwined in what way or another.

[voice]

[revengeisalie]

At least you didn't land in the fountain!

[voice]

[reginagloriae]

I have been avoiding that humiliation.
